This week's Trends: ballet, Rihanna, and 'winning'
Saturday, March 12, 2011
Each weekday, we at
YouTube Trends
take a look at the most interesting videos and cultural phenomena on YouTube as they develop. We want take a moment to highlight some of what we came across this past week:
We highlighted the most
popular videos in Minnesota
as the labor dispute continued at the start of the week, and we tracked the
influx of videos
as protesters reacted to a vote in the Senate in the middle of the week.
We measured
which TED Talks
have become the most popular.
We studied how Rihanna and Eminem were able to top
one billion views each
to their music video channel.
We saw how the
latest iteration of the flash mob
involves classical ballet and is from Germany.
We noticed that NFL-fan song parodies are
still happening
in the off-season.
We examined the popularity of
just one word and asked, "Is Charlie Sheen Winning YouTube?"
